The Musée Rodin brings together two forms of expression – Sculpture and Photography – through the works of two major artists: Robert Mapplethorpe and Auguste Rodin. Thanks to exceptional loans from the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, this exhibition presents 50 sculptures by Rodin and a collection of 102 photographs, in a bold dialogue revealing the enduring nature of these great artists’ favorite themes and subjects.

Today Rodin’s “Thinker” was featured as a Google Doodle in honor of the sculptor’s 172nd birthday. Make the Rodin Museum one of your mandatory stops when in Paris. Get a preview and update on their renovation and special exhibits by going to their website. Go early to avoid long lines and enjoy the gardens.

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don’t need. Auguste Rodin

The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation. Auguste Rodin
